Recent Testimonial

This program gave me so many opportunities to learn about the Irish culture and took us on trips with locals to get the full experience. I was extremely prepared through CISabroad and was never nervous about any plans. I mostly miss the amazing people and culture of Ireland. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly and truly wanted me to learn all about their culture and at the same time they wanted to learn about where I come from. I wish I was still in Ireland!
